As a counter point, if they found that Gnome was suddenly going in a direction that didn't serve their or their users needs and the Gnome team refused to work with them it makes sense to switch correct?
Now, the same problem they ran into with the Gnome team can easily happen with the above projects, they have little say in how they evolve and in which direction they go and it simply leaves them open to being screwed with again the future. It makes a lot of sense to simply run with your own project.
Liar! Previously to get to the start menu, all I had to do was push the windows key. With Windows 8 they made it so much harder, I have to push the windows key!
Well considering the vast size of Samsung, they probably do far more work with Linux than Google does as well.
People forget we're talking about a company that not only builds products in pretty much every home electronics category but also ships, CCTV, aircraft (for a while), artillery and automated turrets. None of this counting the bits and pieces they research and build that go into each of those products.
No not bribes in any sort of monetary form, that would probably create too large of an outcry if it happened and was provable.
People may very well create the associated content for those books but unless the frame work for it is in the bill, good luck getting such extra content adopted by professors/universities/community colleges. Having pre-made tests/quizzes/homework available would be great but there is also the extra work of putting it in a format easily incorporated into existing front end systems. How easy would it be to import something like that into say, Blackboard?
Not to mention needing proper outside verification that the material is accurate and helpful.
Where as all of the above is already provided by publishers of existing text books, it's a long steep uphill battle to get these books adopted by professors.
That's a bit of a far fetched idea. I've searched the earth far and wide, in every Nook and cranny, I've even searched deep in the Amazon and have yet to find anything similar to that which you desire.
While they may not offer financial incentives, they offer numerous tools that automate/simply the job of a professor. The last business class I took required practically zero effort on the part of the professor. Without a similar system in place for these free editions, professors are going to be far less likely to make the switch.
Only if someone is going to step up to the plate and start doing automated testing software based on these books as well. Last couple classes I took required that you take the tests/quizes on the publishers website (which btw if you bought a used book, you get to spend $40 for access) since it freed up the teacher from having to go over any of the work.
They don't even need to lobby it, most professors simply won't switch to them for any of their classes. Publishers offer far too many incentives that make the professors job easier while also helping to tie them down to that publisher.
Forget being annoyed, this is a law that simply needs to be enforced more in the US especially on highways with higher speed limits. If you can't keep up with the flow of traffic, stick to the traditionally slower lanes or risk getting ticketed.
The problem is that those suffering from depression may do a lot, even subconsciously, to cover some of the obvious signs of depression from those closest to them. Add on to the fact that most people don't know enough about the signs of depression and it can be hard at times to easily recognize them.
Secondly, I'm ready to dismiss you and your idea without further discussion just for the fact that your skills in reading comprehension are severely lacking to the point that the basic premise of the article has completely escaped you. This has nothing to do with WHAT you're browsing, there is no checking a browser history, this was simply about HOW you use the internet could help determine the possibility of being depressed. Even if it isn't practical for parents to use, it's still an interesting idea nonetheless.
Bans for cheating only result in you being banned from servers protected by Valves anti cheat system.
Bans for any other odd reason result in your account being locked down, you can still access all of your games (soon to be apps as well) however you can no longer purchase new games/apps, you can't redeem gifts, you can't trade.
However reading up on this, a while back Steam changed their policies, banned accounts can still access their games, they are only stopped for purchasing new games/trading/gifting/redeeming gifted games so this entire thread is rather pointless. You don't lose access to anything you bought when banned.
Not sure how much it would hurt them. Gamers won't suddenly jump ship because they offered something non game related, at most you'll pick some new users up, ones who have no interest in gaming. To a point they also need to diversify a bit seeing as how you'll probably see more publishers pushing their own distribution platform (such as EA with Origin). Steam can't compete with them if the publishers refuse to allow their games to be listed on competing services.
Users don't get banned for cheating, you don't lose access to your account or games, you are simply banned from servers that use valves cheat protection.

I just assumed Lincoln had all the bike trails because most the population couldn't afford a car.

Wait a minute...
Shipped, with each product in a box, wrapped in plastic, typically stacked on a pallet which is also wrapped.
Which is basically what he suggested.
Would be rather nice if California could at least import their gas from out of state, yay for special regulations.
BTW we aren't switching to the winter blend yet, we can't switch off the special summer blend until the end of October.

This is exactly what people need to understand. No one cares about flare, they care when the flare manifests itself as Barneys gaping asshole.

Not like Facebook is any different and we can all look forward to them enforcing that rule more and more.

What a shocker, you can't disable the advertising on an advertising supported service!
If you don't like the search bar, there is an option without the search bar... You just need to pay for it.
Which is why I assume it wasn't the ONLY indication mentioned.

Because it is! At least it is when you're looking for reasons to justify pirating everything.
The OP is wrong.

They also get banned for credit card charge backs.
However you are correct that they don't ban your account for cheating.
And if they start to move into streaming apps/games through steam, the OS you're using will be irrelevant.
It's also another tool they can use to go after sites like padmapper which make apartment hunting on craigslist almost pleasant, it's a shame.
